pare L. attack the Federal army in FAM, and
rear, while Kirby Smith should attack in
front
Polk decided not to obey the order. but to
follow his original instructions to slowly
retire to Bryantyille Bragg then counter
manded the order TO attack that he had given
TO Smith.
During the last of September and first days
of October, Brngg's army had been success
fully and rapidly accommodating the Spolis of
war Cattle, horses swine and mules were
seized without stint by Confederate detach-
mentS in various parts of the interior. At
Frankfort cloth factory was looted and
100000 yards of the famous Kentucky
buttenut jeans We're taken. In some in
stances Confederate scrip was offered in pay
ment for property seized.
Bragg had issued n proclamation to the
kcntuckians on entering the interior OF the
state, in which he had said he must have the
supplies of war wherewith to llberate them
from the northern invader To the ladies he
said with poetic enthusiasm:
"Bucl;lo on the armor of your kindred, your
husbands, sons and brothers, and scott with
shame him who would prove recreant to you,
his country and his God"
The supplies of war" had been accumu-
latng at Lexington. Bragg ordered a suhi-
Gent quantity sent to Polk at Bryantsville,
and Oct ordered Polk himself to march to
Peryville, KY, with Cheatham's division.
He was further TO attack the Union army,
rout 1t, and then join Kirby Smith mt Frank
ford.
Bishop Leonidas Polk, of Louisiana, on the
outbreak of the civil war, threw away his
priestly cassock and donned the Confederate
fighting gray. He had, however, been a
soldier before becoming a bishop, having
been graduated at West Point in 1897. He
was born at Raleigh, n. c., in 1906 lie was
one Of the most able and Jealous Of tho minor
Confederate generals, Wherever fighting
wa, there Bishop Polk was. He always de-
clared, however, that when tho war Nas over
he would GO back and b. a bishop again. A
British officer who know him in the army
wrote of tbs Confederate sol ller bishop He
is very rich, and, | am told, owns 700 ne
groes"
Gen. Polk commanded division at Shiloh,
and n corps at ChickamauSa His sense Of
his own dignity and Importance sometimes
led him to oisobey his superior officers, as he
did Bragg in Kentucky. For such disobe-
dience at Chickamauga 10 was put under ar
rest, but was afterwards restored TO COM
mand. He was with Johnston's army before
Atlanta, in June, 1901 whore cannon shot

After the Eight as Richmond Kirby Smith
marched his men to Lexington, the chief town
in the Blue Grass region. Thence he sent out
Gen. Ileth with 5000 men to camp within a
few miles of Covington, opposite Cincinnati
Another detachment was ordered in the di-
rection of Louisville Smith himself re-
NAMED at Lexington waiting the word to
join Bragg, and recruiting his army among
the Blue Grass sympathizers with the Con-
fedcrate cause.
Meantime CONSERVATION reigned at Cincn-
natl, and in the populous and well to do
smaller towns along the Ohio below. At
Cincinnati martial law was proclaimed, and
the interchangeable Gen. Lew Wallace began
fortifying with all speed in the region about
Coviugtou, Ky. The remains of these de-
lenses are still seen. Wallace ordered all
business houses closed, and the ferry boats
that piled between Cincinnati on the ONO side,
and Covington and Newport ON the Kentucky
side, were stopped. All this half an hour
after Wallace reached Cincinnati, Sept |.
The scene that followed is beyond dcscrip-
ton. Mothers of young infants had left
them on one side of the river, and visited the
other for business or for pleasure. This iron
military order cut them Off from return, and
for one night ut least both mothers and
babies were alike frantic. Mechanics and
other workingmcn, by the thousand, had left
their families that morning, expecting to re-
turn as usual, only to find themselves stopped
as by an adamantnc wall at 6 o'clock. As
all sorts of lumors of capture and imprcssing
men into the soldiers ranks were prevalent,
none knew for the time what had become of
those nearest them Imagination supplied
the lack of knowledge and drew pictures of
the fate Of loved ones that did not err ON the
side of the commonplace and the safe. Gin
cinnatians talk to this day of Lew Wallace's
military rule in Cincinnati.
He saved it from invasion. In a few hours
time he had an army of 10000 men ready.
BY his proclamation he sent prominent
wealthy citizens to the other side of the river
to work on the Notifications 1t was "A curl

MORGAN'S RAID, 1862.

July l. Col. John II. Morgan, with SIC
'parti,an rangers started from Knoxville,
Tenn, on Il raid into Kentucky. His OBJ Jet
was to get men and horses for the Confederate
army, His approach struck terror to the
hearts of the country people within 100 miles
of him. When rumor said he was near the
honest farmer led his valuable horses and
cattle into the thick woods, into deep ravines,
and tied them there till this terror should he
passed. 1t is narrated that sometimes, Just
when this had been done, Morgan and his
men would suddenly appear if they had
come out Of the ground, and say to the
affrghtcd owner: Here they are You've
put them Just where we wanted them, all
ready for us
Morgan crossed The Cumberland mountains
and gallopod northw0rd into the heart OF
Kentucky. At Lebanon, on the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, July T., he destroyed
$4,000 worth Of United States government
property. There was a dash and romance
about him and his band that caused hun
dreds of young Kentuckians to join them.
Still northward pressed Morgan. July If,

"The attempt to destroy the Union of these
states we believe to be Il crime. not only
against Kentucky but against all mankind.
So declared the loyal legislature of Ken
lucky in the autumn of 1851 At the same
time bill was passed calling out 10000
Union volunteers.
In the southern part of the state, however,
there was strong secession sentiment, and
early in September, 1861, Bishop Leondas
Polk had occupied Columbus Ky, with a
considerable Confederate force.
Finally it was resolved by the Confedcrates
to mako a bold dash for the fertile and
famous Blue Grass region of Kentucky. Its
beeves and fast horses, its wheat, corn and
sugar cured hams were II suggestion of a land
flowing with milk and honey to the appetite

BATTLE OF RICHMOND.

Gen. NJ. D. Manson was near Richmond,
Ky, with a small force, which had been con-
siderably increased through the patriotic ex-
ertions of Gen Lew Wallace, of Indiana.
The appearance of Kirby Smith before
Richmond carried CONSERVATION into tAe
heart of Kentucky. Frankfort, the capital,
was only fifty miles distant. With the legis-
lature in session, that body hastily nd iourned
to Louisville. The state records We're also re-
moved thither, with Il million dollars of
money from the banks in this REGION
Gen. MausOu's troops had been attacked by
Kirby Smiths advance at Big Hill Aug.
%, and retreated to Richmond. Here
Manson was re-enforced by Il number of
newly organized regiments from Ohio, Ken
lucky and Indiana. This was Just after
President Lincoln's call for 100000 more y
and the north was filled with the camps
OF the fresh volunteers The new regiments
under Manson hardly new now to form a
line of battle, and were ignorant Of the first
principles of field cvolutious. The officers
were, for the main part, as green as the men.
These raw, Impractical troops were to meet
on the field at Richmond the Confederate
veterans of Shiloh, and other fields under
such leaders as Kirby Smith and Gen. Pat
Cleburnc.
Aug. %, Kirby Smith came on and offered
battle Manson advanced to meet him and
drove him back to Rogersville, two miles
from Richmond. Here Manson encamped for
the night What is called the battle of Rich
mond took place next day, Aug. so.
The fighting began anew on the morning
of this day. Manson and Brig Gen. Cruft,
who had distinguished himself at Donelson,
advanced to meet the Confederate attack
After heavy fighting one mile south OF
Rogersvile, the Union troops were routed
with heavy loss. In the action the lieuten-
ant colonel and major of the Seventy first
Indiana were killed, leaving that regiment
without q field officer.

planned the boys, "but don't you believe him.

The lamb went into the lions jaws. A row
of heads was ducked out of the tents all along
the line of the regiment. The soldiers were
awaiting the denouement. Tho verdant nos.

was roar from the lion within. The lior

At Louisville Buell. reorganized his scat
tered army. Thousands Of new recruits
came and they were assigned to the thinned
old regiments and these were filed. When
ready to move once more against Bragg,
Buell. had an army of 100000 men. 1t was
divided into three corps, commanded respec-
lively by Maj. Gems. A. Med McCook,
Thomas J.. Crittendcn and Brig. Gen, Charles
c. Gilbert. Gen. Gilbert was West Point
graduate of 1876
Practically Buelrs chase from Murfrees-
boro, Tenn. to Louisville Ky, had the APP
pearauce of a retreat, 1t was contended that
he should have been more vigorous in action,
that he should have forced Bragg to battle
and driven him out of Kentucky. Hallecli
at Washington took this view of it and re-
lievel Buell. from command and put Thomas
in his place the last of SEPTEMBER Thomas,
however, demonstrated earnestly against this
and the order was revoked. Thomas had noe,
at this time, confidence in his own power to
handle a large body of troops
The next day, Oct. |, Buell. took command
again. with Thomas second and once more
began the hunt after Bragg He had 100000

Tell my wife and children that my last thoughts

Near the old camps of the Union troops,
two miles north from the scene of the first en-
gagement, Manson made another stand. Hero
was some hard fighting, but again the Con-
federates werc victorious. At this time Gen
Nelson arrived, took command and arranged
for final stand on slight elevation near the
cemetery in front Of Richmond. Here the
Federal raw recruits, decimated to about 2 800
men, made their third and last rally against
sn enemy vastly superior in numbers and dis
cipline The Confederate line was twice re-
pulsed Immediately to the right q the GENE
terry, but the Union line was finally broken
and hanked and the day was hopelessly lost
Gen. Nelson was twice wounded in this action
Gen. Manson was captured.
In tho battle of Richmond there were L., 900
Confederate troops and thirty-siX pieces Of
artillery. The Union forces consisted OF
about 1850 men. Tho Confederates lost over
800 in killed and wounded. The Union troops
lost S25 Besides that, 1000 Of them were
made prisoners.
